Featuring a garden and free WiFi, Arana Sri Lanka Eco Lodge and Yoga Center is situated in Ella, 3 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge. The property is around 1.1 km from Ella Spice Garden and 2.9 km from Ella Rock. The hotel offers mountain views and a terrace. Yoga classes are available at an additional charge.

The Eco lodge is a magic place. I spent countless hours enjoying the mountain breeze and the lush forest around, gazing at the stars at night and falling asleep with the most relaxing natural sounds. When having the chance I would consider working from there for a month or more. People are absolutely fantastic and goodhearted, plus they have so many activities that one is tempted never to leave this place. 10 on 10! 👌🏻

Looking for a cabin?

For active travelers, a chalet is a great mix of the outdoors and the snug inside. Usually fully furnished and with kitchen facilities, chalets are typically wooden and in the Alpine region of Europe, but can also be found other places in the world. Characterized by their sloped roofs, chalets can be single units or separate apartments, and are ideal for skiing vacations.

    A beautiful, peaceful little cabin in the woods! It was so nice to be away from the busy main road but a still able to walk the short distance in for food etc. Breakfast was AMAZING! A fresh, delicious spread - more than you could eat. The host was the best we eperienced throughout our travels. He was great to chat to but gave you lots of space to do your own thing. We really were so happy with the stay :)

    The host family couldn’t do enough for you. Fabulous breakfast, transport and pickup to town in their tuktuk free of charge. The chalet was beautiful and very comfortable. The views were of little Adams peak, Ella valley and Ella rocks. Neighbors included group of monkeys providing ample entertainment in the morning. Situated in the mountain where you really felt one with nature. Stayed for two nights but could have stayed for lot longer.

    The location was great and the hosts were very helpful and kind. A beautiful view from the balcony and we liked sitting out on the swing chair taking in the view. We took a cookery class at Nanda cookery school and it was a highlight of our trip. Also the pumpkin curry at Matey Hut. The host gave us good recommendations.
